Realistic Dream Team for Next Season

Marbury PG
Gerald Green SG
Ron Artest SF
Johan Petro PF (in an interview in the draft thread he said he would prefer to play pf)
Magloire C

Man that would be the best team ever. Young, Athletec, defense, tall, potentiol, blocking, not overpaid and very realistic. It might not be realistic but man that would be the best team ever.

possible? yes logical? no who would you keep on the bench and who would you trade to get them? or draft with your 3 picks?

i have a feeling Green is going to College..plus the only names u added were two draft picks and artest/magloire...artest is only paid 6 million a year..magloire is paid around 8.5..how would these trades work?

kwame would be nice, however two shot blocking, defensive minded center that are free agents and very obtainable are dalembert and ratliff. ratliff wants out of portland and would be a perfect fit as an intimidator in the middle. i think he is worth more than the exception, but maybe a sign and trade is a possibility. portland is rebuilding so our ending contracts would be valuable. maybe taking on one of their contract (ala crawford) or giving up a pick would get it done.

do we honestly want artest? granted he is a hell of a player but he is also a distraction and not a leader. i agree that ratliff is a good rebounder and shotblocker paired with k thomas that would be nice, but ratliff is injury prone. how bout swift? he was all the talk in the preseason is he still attainable? can he play centre

I think I would trade anyone on the team except for trevor and steph for ron and magloire. ron's not overpaid and plays DEFNSE. Gerald Green can still eneter the NBA Draft. GO to the free agency thread I described how we can make these trades and how we can put together this team. I don't feel like writing it over again.

if we can keep Tim Thomas, Ron Artest isnt such a great idea... Herb has done an excellent job with TT, forcing him to start his game down low, and work out to the jumpers, and he has shown the results....there are many others out there who would be better than artest, but if we can get him by not giving up Kurt and Sweetney, our two best forwards, i say go for it...

Sign John Peter Ramos. I see potential. 6 pts in 5 minutes vs miami. 5 pts in 3 min vs detroit the other day. 7' 3" 275 lbs, 19 yrs old, with experience playing in international tournaments (olympics, sub-21 tourneys). Bring Herb Williams back, Ewing says he'd like to come in if Herb williams comes back. Sign John Peter, develop him and give him playing time (like they've been doing with Sweetney, and maybe more because of our lack of a true center). That's just one pice I'd like. I'm really excited about John Peter. I'd love to see him develop.

Ramos has played games in the NBA? im confused.. i dont think he has, you may have the wrong guy... regarding stephon marbury..he really has tried his entire career, and its not always his fault... he gets teammates shots, assists, points, gets to the line... i really dont think marbury is the reason we lose

Yeah' hes been playing with the Wizards. They don't play him much. I looked him up the other night and I think he's played maybe 4 or 5 games. It's possible that's either an indication of his value or it's just that hes only 19. I think it's the latter though. I don't know much about Petro, and I'm sure he'd probably make a nice fit, but I'm skeptical because of what's happened with our recent "Next great big man" draft picks.
